IMPROVEMENT IN METHODS OF LABELING BOTTLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,272, dated May 28,1878; application filed February 13, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. WITTE, of White Mills, in the county ofWayne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Methodof Labeling Bottles, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 of the drawingis a front elevation; Fig. 2, a horizontalsection of the same.

The invention relates to glass labels for druggists bottles; and itconsists in a new method of labeling glass bottles by first burning thecolors into the label and then melting the label into the bottle, ashereinafter described.

In the drawing, A represents a label made of glass and having its facelettered and ornamented in metallic colors fixed therein by theWell-known fire-process. This label, with the colors burned into it, isthen melted into the bottle B. I In this way I provide a glass bottlewith a glass label in which the colors are permanently fixed, notexposed to deterioration, and practically indestructible.

Having thus described all that isnecessary to a full understanding of myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

'A method of labeling glass bottles that consists in first burning thecolors into the label and then melting the label into the bottle, asshown and described. I
